Hi. We are having a cookout for an 80th birthday celebration. It is part potluck. We will be providing hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken thighs, corn, fruit cake and beverages. Guests will bring things to add. Could you give me any idea on amounts to purchase of each? The party is July 18th. Any help would be sincerly appreciated! Thanks

3 bags of chicken thighs, about 24 pounds. 1 corn and 1 hamburger per person, 1/2 that amount dogs, plus 10%. Do two of my fruit trays for 25. See the dessert planning page and the beverage planning page for help with the rest.
